SYMPTOMS
After you add an offline publication to a Microsoft Access Workflow Designer solution, the subscription does not appear in the list of available offline subscriptions on end-user client computers.
CAUSE
When you created the offline publication, you did not include a description on the second step of the Offline Publication Wizard. Without a valid description, which is the text displayed for choosing an offline subscription, the subscription is not available to use.
RESOLUTION
When you create an offline publication, be sure to include a description on the second step of the Offline Publication Wizard. If you have an existing publication that does not have a description, you should delete it and re-create it with a valid description.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

- On the end-user client computer, in Internet Explorer browse to the Gridview.htm page for the Issue Tracking solution. The default is the following:
